The Foundation:

A soil test helps us understand exactly what your soil needs—whether it's nutrients, pH adjustment, or organic matter—so we can tailor your treatment plan for the best possible results. Every new client receives an initial soil test to ensure we're building your lawn on the right foundation.

What We Measure:

Nutrient Levels: Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), Potassium (K), Calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg)

Soil Chemistry: pH levels (acidity/alkalinity), organic matter content, nutrient deficiencies, soil imbalances

Analysis & Recommendations: Professional laboratory testing provides detailed results that inform your customized treatment plan.

Why It Matters:

Eliminates Guesswork: Know exactly what your soil needs instead of applying generic treatments.

Customized Treatments: Your program is tailored to your soil's unique deficiencies and imbalances.

More Effective Results: Proper pH and nutrient levels mean better grass growth and less wasted product.

Track Progress: Re-testing every 2-3 years shows how your soil is improving over time.

The Problem:

Bermuda grass can quickly take over cool-season lawns, creating an uneven, patchy appearance. This warm-season grass thrives in summer heat and spreads aggressively through stolons (above-ground runners) and rhizomes (underground roots), crowding out your desirable fescue.

Our Solution:

Four strategic treatments during growing season reduce Bermuda without completely eliminating it (which would damage fescue). Gradual suppression allows fescue to fill in naturally.

Treatment Schedule: - Late Spring: Initial application when Bermuda begins active growth. Targets emerging runners and establishes control. - Early Summer: Follow-up treatment as Bermuda enters peak growth. Reinforces suppression and prevents spreading. - Mid Summer: Reinforcement during peak Bermuda growth. Maintains control and limits spread. - Late Summer: Final application before Bermuda dormancy. Maximizes control heading into fall when fescue thrives.

Important Note:

This program suppresses and reduces Bermuda, not eliminates it completely. Total eradication would require aggressive treatments that could damage desirable grass. Our gradual approach creates healthier, more uniform lawns over time.

Best For: - Fescue lawns with visible Bermuda patches - Patchy texture - Lawns transitioning to fescue

What's Included:

2 Dormant Oil Applications Control pests, larvae, and overwintering insects before they become active. Applied during dormant season for maximum effectiveness.

2 Fungicide/Insect Control Applications Minimize disease and control surface-feeding insects during the growing season. Protects foliage and maintains plant health.

2 Organic Fertilizer Applications Nutritional support with organic-based fertilizer for comprehensive plant health from the inside out.

Service Schedule: 6 applications per year

Common Plants Treated: Azaleas, boxwoods, hollies, crepe myrtles, dogwoods, Japanese maples, and other common ornamental landscape plants.

Program Details:

This 2-treatment program is strategically timed to suppress germination and reduce existing populations during peak activity periods. While complete elimination can be difficult due to their persistent nature, consistent suppression significantly limits spread and helps your desirable turf thicken and compete.
